After creating my large box for C6 cards i decided to reduce the measurements to create a smaller version for 4 x 4 cards. Using the stunning Snowflake splendour papers and Highland heather card I love the alternative Christmas colours in this project.
I have a full step by step tutorial for you to follow and will leave all the measurements below so you can create this pretty box with ease.
MEASUREMENTS
Piece 1.. 7 x 8 1/4"
on the long side score at 1-2-6 1/4- 71/4"
turn to the short side and score at 1 1/2 and 2 1/2"
Today I am sharing my specific measurements for a box I created to hold a set of Christmas cards I have made. I wanted a co-ordinating box and the measurements had to fit my needs. I got out my ruler and put my thinking cap on and ..voila.
So the box could be used for any reason but it holds 8 - 10 C6 size cards and envelopes with ease. By using the same Heart warming hugs paper as the cards we end up with a fantastic gift set of stunning cards.
Super simple to make but I do have a full step by step YouTube tutorial for you to follow and I will leave all measurements below to make it easy for you to recreate one for yourself.
Have fun creating xxx Amanda

Ok so November for me means we can really start with the Christmas crafting and preparation.
I think handmade will be even more important this year as shopping can be hard work during a pandemic.
Here is one quick and easy idea you can create this year. Not only having fun with supplies but also taking the headache out of Christmas shopping ... gift cards mean they can do their own shopping .. genius !!
Wrap the box simply with a piece of your favourite Christmas paper, I used Heart warming hugs from Stampin' Up!, a small amount of ribbon and a fun stamped sentiment and voila !!
Inside reveals your gift card and a simple wrapped chocolate treat. What a great little gift to make and send.

Have fun creating a handmade Christmas this year xxxx Amanda
Christmas is coming everyone get creating !! Handmade gifts are just the best gift to give and no waiting in line or things being out of stock all you need do is stock up on papercraft supplies nice and early.
Today I am sharing a quick and easy gift you can create which is budget friendly and time friendly. A mini album in a box.
So this gift is made to fit our pre made mini paper pumpkin boxes ..these are awesome fun to create with and I can see me making a few project with these so stock up on these ready!
I made a simple concertina style mini album with 18 pages which fits nicely inside this box. You can dress them up or keep them simple it is up to you.
The possibilities are endless with just a little imagination you could take this idea and add to it. Idd pockets and tags or positive sentiments and fill it with photos for the recipient. A memory box of the year or years gone by. What a great gift.

I created this cut little mini brag book today which is also great as a gift card holder. A lovely little gift for someone . They can have the treat of a gift card and the long lasting gift of a mini brag book you can fill with photos to adorn a workstation or mantle piece.
This one has a fantastic travel theme to it but you could make it any style you like. I used the speciality World of Good designer series paper from Stampin' Up! and the co-ordinating stamp set Beautiful World. The gold foiling throughout the papers here gives the most beautiful luxury look to this easy little gift.
I have a full process from beginning to end video tutorial listed below. Come on over and subscribe for regular creative ideas.
I will also leave all measurements used and a supplies list so you have everything you need to re create this fun project.
So I have recently purchased seasonal products but I'm not really ready to do Christmas crafting just yet. The coming Home stamp set was a wise choice as this isn't necessarily seasonal. It can be used all year round. I used it to create two fun new home cards. How much fun are these ?
I love the different combinations you can get by layering some of the smaller houses onto the larger ones. And how different colour combinations can give us even more possibilities.
I will leave some extra photos and then leave measurements below so you can create your own. I have a YouTube show and tell video so you can see them close up. I felt a full tutorial would be too lengthy as I fussy cut all my houses. You can save heaps of time by purchasing the co-ordinating dies.. I wish I had !!!
Arent they fun ! If you would like to make your own all the information needed is below.
This card is a fantastically easy card to make. Made even easier by the fact this class was given to us by Stampin' Up! themselves for demonstrators to use for inspiration or for their next class. Stampin' Up! give demonstrators heaps of resources to use to inspire and frankly it makes life so much easier too ... less thinking needed on those days when your just not feelin it .
I do adore the lovely you bundle with its co-ordinating lovely label punch there are so many possibilities you could create for days on end with this set.
I created the first card over on my YouTube you can follow along below by clicking the video link. Stampin' Up! gave us this fab class in American card sizes and so I will leave the measurements I converted it to in inches using European A4 card stock.
You don't need many supplies for these cards I will leave the supply list bellow also. If you wish to purchase any simply click the item photo to visit my web shop.
